I met my friends, the Harrells, at Railroad Square a couple months ago to get some updated pictures of their family. I have been blessed to be "family photographer" for them for about a year and a half, and it has been so much fun!

When my husband's sister, Kristy, asked me to take some special pictures for her and her boyfriend, Zac, before he deployed in October, I didn't realize he was going to show up in his fatigues. I didn't realize how much symbolism the shoot would involve; there are so many ways to portray two people together yet separated. I didn't realize that I would finish editing the photos right before 9/11. But, this morning, as I was reminded of this day 10 years ago, I realized that today is the day that I need to put the preview for this shoot on my blog.

I know prayers are going up all around the country today for the families who lost loved ones in the attacks. I also know that we all are reminded today that we are so thankful for our nation's military who have worked and are working so hard to keep us safe. Thank you, from the bottoms of our hearts.

Zac and Kristy met me at the beautiful Vogel State Park while my family was vacationing there. Beautiful scenery, a gorgeous day, a lovely sister, and a handsome soldier made it a fun shoot from start to finish!

Thanks, Kristy and Zac, for letting me help you record these memories! Zac, we hope and pray the best for you and your unit this coming year!!!

I had the opportunity to meet my friends, Rahul and Mitu, and their daughter Ria in Tally's beautiful SouthWood for Mitu's maternity pictures at the beginning of July! I think that these maternity pictures are the closest I've ever shot to the baby's due date - Mitu had sweet baby Kabeer just ten days later! I will be posting his newborn pictures later. :-)

I really enjoyed this shoot! I had never shot maternity pictures involving a very small child before, so it was definitely a learning experience! The family did great, especially since it was probably about 100 degrees!!!

Thanks, Rahul and Mitu, for the opportunity to take these pictures! It is so fun to watch your family grow, and I am so honored that you have chosen to make me a part of making your memories!
